Wondrous Love|SATB Chorus| 3.75
Notes from the publisher
Opening with a sense of wonder, clearly in awe of God's magnificence, this familiar text is set to new music with the choir accompanied by only the piano. As the text deepens, the tune Wondrous Love emerges with the brass. Lovely a cappella sections and a SSA canon verse which is absolutely captivating leads to a majestic and triumphant finish.
Wondrous Love
​
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse
for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
​
When I was sinking down,
sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down
beneath GodÂ’'s righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown
for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
​
To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing, I will sing,
To God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great “I Am”;
While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
​
And when from death I'Â’m free,
And when from death I'Â’m free,
And when from death I'Â’m free, IÂ’'ll sing on;
And when from death IÂ’'m free,
IÂ’'ll sing and joyful be.
And through eternity, and through eternity
I'Â’ll sing on, I'Â’ll sing on,
IÂ’'ll sing on!
